Well that bike night changed, the Harley's took over. Still ran into some board members! Plus I might of met a like minded riding partner, so all wasn't lost.
I switched to my tried and true Michlien's. Had a set of Evo's, low pressure endurance tire and was doing great till I caught a screw in the rear before leaving Texas. Went to Iron Pony (that place got huuuuge) and the only 200/55 in stock was a Dunlop, which was also called a "Evo". I'll let you know after the weekend how I like it.
No, tire had less than 1500 miles worth of hard riding. It's the Pirelli Super junk that came standard on the bike. We were doing some spirited riding between Austin (TX) and the Three Sisters in Kerville (TX). I'm being told that I was lucky to get that much, apparently they are known for going off sooner than that.
I disagree! Forum post have been used as evidence to prosecute. But yes, I have a bout of delusional paranoia. Or the realization of past experience. Hmm, think my self is talking to me again.
A true Iron Butt on that machine! North Georgia mountains are my favorite! Did you hit GA-180, close to blood mountain? Hope you don't have flat spots on your tires from slabbing it.
Trying to get back into the Moto scene. Rear tire replaced and I'm ready to get out and about. This forum use to represent at the Quaker Steak and Lube bike night. Do we still have a presence? Anyone want to join this Wednesaday?
Yes, purchased the bike directly from Houston Superbike. They set the suspension up perfectly. They are currently 1st in MotoAmerica Super Stock class!
Left Ohio in 2008 for Texas. Not sure if anyone is still around from back then? Moved up to a RSV. Let me know if anyone is up for a ride tomorrow. Oh, only ride with those with at least minimal gear. Boots, jacket, gloves, etc.
I lived in Gahanna and I can personally tell you the East side isn't what it use to be. Some moron broke into my Explorer to steal my daughters soccer practice equipment! I'm in Hilliard/Columbus, right on the border. Hilliard schools, Columbus taxes and my house is for sale. I love the house but due to work, I have to sell. My commute just sucks. Let me know if your interested! http://columbus.yahoo.idx.pruamericanrealtycenter.com/details.aspx?firstrecord=0&VIP=Yahoo%2bIDX&cc=realestate&fclose=n&newhome=n&za=and&searchtype=8&searchgeo=43228&propertytype=1%2c2&sort=5&sortacdc=desc&searchminprice=165000&searchmaxprice=165000&searchbedrooms=3
